The lower rear panel, underneath the bumper on my 325i is slightly rusty - not too bad actually, but bad enough that it'll fail our version of the MOT.
Bringing me round to my question - does it need to be welded in or does it bolt in?
Quick rear panel question

Bit of an odd place, I think its part of the whole rear panel, ie the panel that the lights are housed in.
It is however welded.
Best to have the rust cut out and new bit welded in.
Note that the rear panels are different on early/late cars

i just had my rear panel welded in my iS. the bodyshop that we use for all our customers did for me, and only charged me £100!!!
astonishing price, considering there was so much work involved!
